Its the correct guard for muay thai & even street fighting lol because of the "glove size" or lack of thereof. You must guard more with the elbows. Yeah it exposes the body but so what, train abs & make your abs your armor. The head is much more important to protect from any stray shots, a body shot ain't the end (except if its from Canelo).

I agree. I feel like we could say "defense!" In a way like "Just don't forget about defense", like be prepared at any moment to do some defensive shee

The Chef is a monster bro, most badass fedex driver around.

Canelo style ,, I agree this is best.

FINALLY!!! The godfather of KZfaq talks facts! And m getting super tired of people talking about hands up when some of the best fighters in the world have their hands down. Yes as beginners it’s good to have them up, but we can’t always keep them up when our arms are on fire. Also eyebrows is a perfect level to keep your hands. But as you say, it’s how you use your tools. Not the tools themselves.

I respect this man

Always great advice and Shane has the coolest living room/gym in the world.. he can live in the Gym for real!

Why would bob hit us back for getting a fly off his head

Buddy your ass has been past news for a while we dont need tips from YOU and I could care less who you train with and your subs. Lame👎

what are those gloves called?

Dont use a small tablet just a tv works, i got confused and almost fell down on my tablet 😂😂😂😂😂

Short. Simple. Sweet. And to the point. Love it! 🤘

Mma mixed with krav maga is the best martial art

Hands up means you got cuaght defend ya self or your open and your opponent knows it so defend ya self but your 💯

She fights like my created fighter in ufc 4

For me I never want my head to be square when they hit me, as long as I’m moving away they can’t hurt me too bad. Only thing to watch out for is kicks but I’m tall so I have a huge advantage

Honestly great advice

Marlon Starling smiling somewhere right now

HAD ME IN THE FIRST HALF IN 5 LMAOO

What boxing shoes are those?

Jujitsu is useless when you start the grapple. Its better to learn wrestling then combine the Jujitsu submissions with wrestling. Youre a beast.

Sweet...

Dude is so pro he forgot how to do bad kicks

So just open up the angle. You Literally did everything you said not to😂😂

the squats and punches to the core seem kinda useless ngl

easy to knock someone out when they’re 115 soaking wet bruh

So delusional. No doubt he’s an amazing fighter but just to casually talk about one of the fastest pound for pound athletes in Bruce lee and then one of the biggest in the rock, and just act like he’d grab them with no imminent life threatening danger , la la land

Look, beginners like myself must learn the fundamentals first. Once we are comfortable with knowing how to protect ourselves, we can develop our own styles and innovate. You can’t innovate until you have the fundamentals down unless you are begging to get knocked out.

I actually have ligament laxity so all my shit is extra loose and stretchy without causing damage (granted thumb UNDER fingers will still break my thumb obviously)

I think it stems from the idea of the hook being a big heavy hitting knockout, where you throw every single muscle you can into that one punch. but it's significantly more effective if you think about the anatomy of what happens with a lateral hit

*Speed mode🗿*

The same way you use "eyebrows", we use "TELEPHONE!" If someone in the gym hollers that, stop being lazy. It's really not just up to the fighter but mainly up to the coach. Hands down just don't fly with my Kru and Kumu.

what if madara see this

That's keep your hands up LMAO 🤣 😂 😆

I got tought to keep the front foot planted and drive ur legs into the ground and have a whip movement in the hips

PLUS, if you practice that high of a guard, by the time your arms are tired. They settle in their natural place.

What boxing mitts are you using

Still didnt explain why the thumb is outside. While I understand that you're punching with thick gloves, that's far from how you'd punch without a glove. Imagine if someone got into a bar fight and punched people with that lobster claw hand.

Perfect sparing man I love it

I do bare knocle for 30 minute every fucking day

Nobody is going to try to get you in a headlock as weak as this one.

I wonder if a kungfu master doing acrobatic moves in real fight and that just wasting a lot of stamina and his opponent will easily knock him down with powerful punch cause he still have a lot of stamina 😂😂

Everything you’re saying is just an opinion. Wolff's Law states that bones will adapt to the degree of mechanical loading, such that an increase in loading will cause the architecture of the internal, spongy bone to strengthen, followed by the strengthening of the cortical layer

manny also has phantom punch. please make a breakdown 😊

I really need this 😅

Agreed 100%!! My style is naturally HIGHLY mobile. If im always shelling up worried about a solid defense, i cant really make my offense effective

I train both styles since 2012, if people ask what's the difference between those 2 styles, just answer like this: Muay Thai focus on close range combat, while Kickboxing focus on long range combat.

Muay Thai is the best thing to be aggressive

What a crazy crossover of coaches and fighters

Temps are good for people that are aggressive
